Another Happy Birthday for your lovely daughter. And I love the star idea also. I once had a friend who bottled wine under his own private label, called "Shooting Star." When he tragically passed away, I spent a few nights looking for that shooting star so that I would know he was okay. And I saw it! That is peace. :-)

Have you read the Glass Castle? In the book the father wants to give his daughter a gift but he has no money . He sits beside her and says something like, "Look up at the sky and pick a star, that star is my gift to you.

Reading that poem you sent to your daughter reminded me of that passage.

The book is non-fiction and was one of the best that I have read in a very long time.
